Computer illiterate people who think they know things V5 = I FLICK PSU VOLTAGE SWITCH - Hardware & Software

Ok but if money is not an issue for someone, [i]why would they care?[/i] Other than the price, there is nothing inherently wrong with Alienware machines.

I don't mean it like that. I mean you can order parts and get the exact same experience as an alien ware, where as mac you can't [editline]03:49PM[/editline] Well i heard of very shitty build quality.

I don't understand how that makes any sort of point.

[QUOTE=PILLS HERE!;24376872] So if I delete an icon, does that mean the whole program is gone? [/QUOTE] Which, coincidentally, was my train of thought when I was about 6-7. Imagine the look on my dad's face when he went to the uninstall screen. Also, had a friend who's RAM broke. Was talking to him about it when some guy walks past, overhears our conversation and then says that 'the RAM's code was probably buggy'. Thank fuck I'll be starting my IT study tomorrow, that should hugely lower the amount of PC fucktards I run into.

[quote=unreliable;24435024]both websites have "build it yourself" with alienware you can at least change more parts, but with the mac pro, all you can change is ram, hard drive, and select the cpu.

[QUOTE=LemONPLaNE;24435496][b]HURR 2+2=4 DERP[/b] Ah well, honest mistake[/QUOTE] probably wasn't a mistake, it's good marketing

It is also technically correct: that processor will execute 11.2 billion operations in one second. [b]Edit @ thf[/b] Hz is actually defined as the number of cycles per second: not by its relationship with period, so the point still stands. However, the clock speed of the processor is still 2.8GHz, but he hasn't actually stated that he's talking about the clock speed, so he's just about correct. I'm with the above in reckoning that he's not just computer literate, but marketing literate too :D

But 4 will be executed at the same time. [i]x[/i] Hz means it's a 1/[i]x[/i] second duration between each operation (evenly spaced out).

[QUOTE=TheBoff;24436321]It is also technically correct: that processor will execute 11.2 billion operations in one second.[/QUOTE] But it may do more or less then one operation per clock cycle. It all comes down to how many Flops it can do. I think the i7's do at least 40 GFlops
